The antibiotic activity of garlic is known and can be used against mites. For this you crush some garlic cloves, pour a little olive oil on them and let it sink in for one whole day. Then use the garlic oil as the paraffin oil described above.
If skin mites occur you can also put some ointment with panthenol, such as Bepanthen, onto the affected skin, however, it must be ensured that the animal does not lick the ointment. This ointment ensures that the mites suffocate and the itching is alleviated.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in dogs. Almost 50 percent of all dogs that are older than ten years, develop cancer. However, many of these cases can be successfully treated with the help of modern veterinary medicine and other complimentary methods: In addition to the surgical removal of tumors now comes more and more chemotherapy are used, which can prolong the survival time significantly in certain types of tumors.
To avoid chemotherapy and surgery you can first of all change your dog´s diet.
The tumor drains nutrients
A major problem in the treatment of cancer patients is the diet: The tumor consumes nutrients and forces the body to tackle their own reserves. It comes to the breakdown of muscle protein, the burning of fat and a strong emaciation. Due to the resulting nutrient deficiency the immune system function also suffers. Therefore, cancer patients need a special diet, which, on one hand supplies the body with sufficient energy, but at the same time keeps the tumor as short as possible. Specially tailored to this need, for example, is a new diet, which is available at the vet (Hill’s Prescription Diet Canine) and was developed for the diet of cancer patients.
Dog Cancer Diet: Less carbohydrates for the sick dog
The food contains a reduced proportion of carbohydrates, to not supply additional energy to the tumor, while the fat and protein content is increased, so that the body reserves can be replenished. By adding omega-3 fatty acid and the amino acid arginine immune function is increased and the depletion can be counteracted. The lining is only available as canned food and only for dogs and can be given during the entire lifetime of a dog with cancer. However, it has no preventive function, so is not suitable for healthy dogs that should be fed natural and organic dog food.
